The sum of five numbers is 655. The average of the first two numbers is 75 and the third number is 121. Find the average of the remaining two numbers?

Correct option is A

Given:

The sum of five numbers is 655.
The average of the first two numbers is 75.
The third number is 121.

Concept Used:

Sum of the first two numbers = Average × 2
Sum of the remaining two numbers = Total sum - Sum of the first three numbers
Average of the remaining two numbers = Sum of the remaining two numbers / 2

Solution:

Sum of the first two numbers:
Sum of first two numbers = 75 × 2 = 150
Sum of the first three numbers:
Sum of first three numbers = 150 + 121 = 271
Sum of the remaining two numbers:
Sum of remaining two numbers = 655 - 271 = 384
 Average of the remaining two numbers:
Average = 384 / 2 = 192
Thus, the average of the remaining two numbers is 192.
